I can't keep up with you lot and I thought I could talk!!!!

I've got a headache so to be honest, I can't manage to re-read all your posts again but I cannot believe how much you lot tempt everyone to shop for cloth!

I HAVE to stop coming on here cos you're doing my head in...I want to buy more but am skinto

I thought natural parenting was about being eco friendly etc not blowing bank balances!!!!!!!! OMG...my OH hates me coming online now

I think it's easy to do at first when you find all these new ones you haven't tried etc but tbh, now I've seen my terrible bank balance and seen so many leaks I'm starting to wonder if cloth is eco friendly iykwim
Mind you, it hasn't put me off yet, just think I need to be a bit more careful with money! The leaking is starting to pee me off now though....it seems to be happening ALL the time

Unexpectedly i got my one of these this morning to try: https://cgi.ebay.com/Pink-Baby-Clot...s_LE?hash=item4148759fa9&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14

Looks ok so far for £3.99! ...colour is lovely...proper bubblegum pink. Inside is really soft fleece and the insert looks quite good quality too. Watch this space for a review tomorrow! xxx

South Wales...I'm not sure there are any round here though? He's been fine in his BG V3's unless he's in them for a very long time (like 12 hours overnight and they 'just' start to leak before I change).

I think maybe Deri is a heavy wetter so am going to try some extra inserts and see how we go! x

Laurie - have you looked through your council incentive scheme to see if theres any links to local retailers?


I have a quick qu; White vinegar, how much do i put in my wash, just a small cap full enough or not even that?

Just found out there is a Highland food festival up here soon, and they are having a huge cloth nappy stall and stuff on BLW

Oh no did it leak? Both the teddys she's had on today leaked Will try one later with a different wrap to see if it makes a difference.

 

[thelilbump]

it did yea right through the wrap and seeped at the legs I thought it would work as it fit quite snuggley and none of the nappy was showing thorugh the wrap. Oh well tried and tested i suppose!

I'm undecided about the itti, i didn't expect it to be quite as green as it is but i just remembered i saw gorgeous dress in next that will go really well i think

Did you see i posted yesterday about the Mio? I'm just waiting on this woman to pay up for an item on ebay and then i'll go the PO. If she hasn't paid by the end of the week i'll go anyway. Hows Maddis teeth? Ems kept us awake for 3 hours last night with them!


Them coolababy nappies do look interesting, tots bots are going to be selling them for £5.50 each. Teehee my parcel today was from tots bots and it had a sticker on saying 'Fluffy post' i got excited when i saw that i'm soo sad lol!

I am not sure. I don't have a problem with the mio prefolds in the mio wrap. I figured any waterproof wrap would do as long as the nappy inside was covered so thought i'd give it a go

Well my washer is critical,I am going to have to say RIP.

But in the plus side its under warrenty so spoke to a lovely lady at customer services at Bosch and I can have it replaced and for only £60 extra can have the new model Black one I wanted!!!

But looks like I will be back on disposables for a few days!My neighbour has offered to do some loads that I need but dont really like asking her to put through all the yummy nappies too!!.x
